#1 Do not visit Hell while in Grand Cayman Islands. (Once you've been to Hell and back, life takes a downward spiral.)

#2 When you return from Hell, be very careful. Important: Do not hurry while walking on tile floor on cruise ship or you may take a bad spill and turn your ankle.

#3 Remember what your DH is wearing so he can be easily located by the waiters.

#4 On a brighter note, your visit to the ship's doctor is free, including x-rays, resetting broken fibula, splint and crutches.

#5 Get used to your crutches slowly, or you may take another bad spill in the bathroom at Wendy's once you get to shore.

#6 Remember what your DH is wearing so the employee who finds your body half on the floor, half in the toilet, can summon him quickly before someone calls 911.

#7 When the paramedics arrive, insist you are not hurt, even though you suspect you may have broken a rib.

#8 Do not allow your DH to drag you to one of those stupid time share seminars.

#9 Just in case you missed it, re-read #8.

#10 After you've exhausted all your precious energy looking at the time-share condo ON CRUTCHES, just say NO! Again and again, because the time-share people will not understand it the first 20 times.

#11 Grab your Disney World discount tickets at your first opportunity and run! Or hobble as fast as you can on your crutches, ignoring pain from broken ankle and ribs.

#12 When at Epcot Center, rent a wheelchair for $10 so you don't have to wait in lines. Be careful that the bag of ice on your broken ankle does not melt and turn to water, or some wiseguy will ask: "You got a goldfish in there?" (Yes, it really happened! Lol!)

#13 Let your DH adjust your wheelchair so you don't pinch your finger. After you get your finger pinched in the wheelchair mechanism, have DH get you a cup of ice to soak it in.

#14 Know in advance it is going to feel weird when you and DH use the "community bathroom" together! It is just too weird to sit on the commode and have a male doing the "man stance" in the urinal right next to you! Also, be aware that men make noises that we delicate females are not accustomed to! (DH is sitting here denying this).

It's been an educational vacation and thought I'd share with my MS buddies so you don't make the same mistakes. Don't know when I will check in again. Our plane won't take us home till Saturday. Not sure I can survive another 5 days of R&R. Please pray for me.

Good to have you back Twink.....

Hope you enjoyed your holiday.....but...

Tell me you didn't break anything....tell me this was just embroidey for any-one who wanted to hear about your trip.

Tell me it isn't true Twink!!

Common Twink.....you were kidding us ...weren't you?

Please say you were......

Oh, Rochelle...I'm so sorry!!Guess I can quit coveting your trip....Hope the rest of your stay in uneventful!!

wow Not sure I want to plan a vacation...we are thinking florida...but probably at a too hot for my sxs time..but only time we really can do it with the kids.....inlaws live there...so might be there two weeks...(hubby already said something teasing me about taking me so my feet can go numb so much that I cant feel anything...)

sorry about your vacation fun... hugssss,sarah (come home safely dear)

You really get in it, don't you? I'd send hugs, but I'm afraid of hurting something..Next time you take a cruise, have them put the body cast on BEFORE you leave shore, just to save time (and pain!), m'kay?..
I hope your week is more relaxing than eventful..And for heaven's sake, BE CAREFUL!

You tell such a good story that you make it difficult to feel bad for you, but I'm forcing myself. Just kidding. Praying for your speedy recovery, but in the meantime, we'd all enjoy reading the chapters in the ongoing saga...

Hello there Twinkle from across state. Hope your trip was fun anyways.

Oh my goodness. It sure is a good thing you have a sense of humor
Twink. Feel better soon.

I'm using a stupid motel room keyboard and can't thank you individually. So please accept my thanks en masse. I knew you guys would help me feel better!

Now I can't remember who said they were planning a Florida vaca -- good luck! Temp yesterday at Epcot was pleasant b/c it was cloudy half the day. Got to 87 the day before.

Remember we had a thread somewhere about who could jump? Glad I can jump a little b/c our cabin on the ship had a bathroom where you stepped up about 6 inches. That worked until the last day when I got my splint and couldn't bear weight on it. Try and jump UP 6 inches, even holding on to something (I used DH). It's nearly impossible! Too small of area to use crutches. Aaaarrrgh!

The good news is that DH finally quit telling me to HURRY! We're on vacation, but he's stuck in work mode and thinks we have to hurry everywhere. Now he tells me to take my time. Aaaaahhhhh! Music to my ears!

Will check in again when I can. Heading from Orlando to Tallahassee today. I will wave at you jmiller and nevadaleftie. Made plans to see Joelleelee2000, but she had to go see her poor sick mother in NY. Waving at burntmarshmallow too!

Have a great day everyone! Hugssss from Florida!
